RESUMO
We performed the present study to determine whether hibernating myocardium is chronically protected from ischemia. Myocardial tissue was rapidly excised from hibernating left anterior descending coronary regions (systolic wall thickening = 2.8 ± 0.2 vs. 5.4 ± 0.3 mm in remote myocardium), and high-energy phosphates were quantified by HPLC during simulated ischemia in vitro (37°C). At baseline, ATP (20.1 ± 1.0 vs. 26.7 ± 2.1 μmol/g dry wt, P < 0.05), ADP (8.1 ± 0.4 vs. 10.3 ± 0.8 μmol/g, P < 0.05), and total adenine nucleotides (31.2 ± 1.3 vs. 40.1 ± 2.9 μmol/g, P < 0.05) were depressed compared with normal myocardium, whereas total creatine, creatine phosphate, and ATP-to-ADP ratios were unchanged. During simulated ischemia, there was a marked attenuation of ATP depletion (5.6 ± 0.9 vs. 13.7 ± 1.7 μmol/g at 20 min in control, P < 0.05) and mitochondrial respiration [145 ± 13 vs. 187 ± 11 ng atoms O2·mg protein−1·min−1 in control (state 3), P < 0.05], whereas lactate accumulation was unaffected. These in vitro changes were accompanied by protection of the hibernating heart from acute stunning during demand-induced ischemia. Thus, despite contractile dysfunction at rest, hibernating myocardium is ischemia tolerant, with reduced mitochondrial respiration and slowing of ATP depletion during simulated ischemia, which may maintain myocyte viability.
